  • A subtrope of Token Non-Human and Token Enemy Minority. This trope is to Token Enemy Minority as Token Nonhuman is to Token Minority. It's about a member of the Villain or Mook race who joins the main cast and their good (mostly human or The Federation) organisation. There are many reasons for this. * Defector From Decadence: He can't abide the evil ways of his people. * Mook Rebel: Sometimes, if his race are Mook-slaves for the Big Bad, he may have rebelled and joined the opposition to fight his former evil master and free his people. * Raised by Humans: The heroes are closer to him than to the rest of his race. * Former enemy: His race used to be the enemy, but has now become neutral or friendly with humans, so having him join the heroes' crew shows that things have changed, and the two races are getting along now. * Defeated enemy: His race stops being villainous because they lost. At best now his nation is a Vestigial Empire; at worst he's the Last of His Kind. * Enemy Mine: He shares a common enemy with the heroes, in some cases a rival faction of his own race. * Assimilation victims: Someone who was assimilated but later saved, now has free will again but doesn't get restored to his original form. * Following the Leader: He's personally loyal to his (human or otherwise not of the mook-race) master who goes through a Heel Face Turn. * Rogue Drone: He's a member of an evil Hive Mind who developed an independent personality that happened not to be evil.
